This is my first time under the car (and the first time under a 914 or even a VW) so I could use a little help identifying some things.

There is an unattached cable on the right side.

There is also another unattached cable above the shifter.

The car has an ANSA exhaust. I'm not sure if these two pieces are suppose to meet.

I wonder if this hole should have something attached to it?

Without the fan motors on I would think it would be pretty tough for the exhaust gases to get to the cabin. It's about the most convoluted path invented.

The FAN MOTOR, I believe you are talking about, really only blows air when the car is idling. Older cars had 2 outlets on the fan motor under the relay box in the engine compartment. Later fans only had 1 outlet on the fan and you could add a splitter to go to both pass and driver. I stuck with the 1 for me, the driver.

My fan works, but the engine is running down the road at 3000 rpm, so it over takes the electric heater fan. It turns on when the red floor lever is pulled all the way up. I only use the bottom dash lever when it is cold.
